✨ NEW THIS MONTH: MEMBER SPOTLIGHT! ✨
First up is Steph! 👏
Steph recently hit an incredible 500 classes and is an absolute force to have in class! 💪 Strong, determined, supportive, and always willing to put in the work, she brings so much energy to our CFIF community.
Here’s what Steph had to say about how she got here and why she keeps showing up:
“We moved to Belgium in May of 2022, and I joined CrossFit IF later that fall. I have a desk job and need to do something physical before work; biking and walking are great during the summer, but not so much when it’s dark and cold. I Googled ‘gyms near me’ and CrossFit IF popped up. The address at the time was a farm… definitely not in the big city anymore, are we? 😂 I called the number and Sandra said, ‘Yup, it’s a gym at a farm.’ I also had no idea that CrossFit was a ‘thing.’ I thought it was a cute gym name though, and maybe a clever play on ‘cross-training.’ Sandra tried to explain it to me during our first phone call but finally gave up and said, ‘Just show up.’ So I did, and have kept on ‘just showing up’ ever since.”
And that’s exactly what it’s all about. ❤️ Just show up. Keep putting in the work. You never know where it might take you!
Congratulations on 500 classes, Steph! We’re so lucky to have you as part of our community and can’t wait to see what’s next! 💙💪
